Scaling limit of the random walk on a Galton-Watson tree with regularly varying offspring distribution

We consider a random walk on a Galton-Watson tree whose offspring distribution has a regularly varying tail of index κ∈(1,2]. We prove the convergence of the renormalised height function of the walk towards the continuous-time height process of a spectrally positive strictly stable Lévy process, jointly with the convergence of the renormalised trace of the walk towards the continuum tree coded by the latter continuous-time height process.

Abstract

We consider a random walk on a Galton-Watson tree whose offspring distribution has a regularly varying tail of index κ∈(1,2]. We prove the convergence of the renormalised height function of the walk towards the continuous-time height process of a spectrally positive strictly stable Lévy process, jointly with the convergence of the renormalised trace of the walk towards the continuum tree coded by the latter continuous-time height process.
